Many years ago my friend left a front spoiler for my subaru at a garage. It had a huge 2 FT Ornate Birchir in a tank at the counter. Man.. that fish had presence.
Best wet pet

Im super surprised no one mentioned puffers...
They are imo some of the best wet pets you can own... true puppy dogs of the aquatic world...
If you want something rare that almost no one owns try and find a cross river puffer... otherwise a Fahaka would last a good while in a 125G before needing an upgrade depending on dimentions...

The only thing I didn’t like about puffers was that i don’t feel like there active enough and sometimes just lay on the bottom
They were suggested earlier in this thread.
I suggested a marine porcupine puffer, very active and interactive fish.
Fahaka don't stop moving... You get lurker puffers which sit about. . Homer can likely list the active ones, trouble is most active ones are either massive or less than 4".
Flowerhorn I have is best wet pet I’ve ever owned even better than Oscars.
I think realistically a fahaka would be the best choice since they arent overly expensive, easy to come by, are active and can get fairly large with averages of around 15-17” max size...
The fact they are so interactive with their owners is a real plus...
The schoutedeni puffer is another option i’ve been reading a lot about lately, more expensive and much smaller but work well as a group supposedly in well decorated tanks even with tankmates...
These would fit the rare part the OP was looking for since they arent that common atm but not so rare you cant find them like a true cross river...
If you feed them enough hard shelled foods their beaks don't need trimming, a mix of hardshelled snails, krill/prawns/shrimp, clams/mussels, crayfish is good
